On the IRC, Quinch was so kind as to make a bot that automatically links new threads. I noticed that in a chat context, Ponychan links can get a little long. Not ridiculous like some links can get, but even YouTube sees the benefit in shortening a URL like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ down to http://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ.

So, think this is a thing that can happen? I think it'd be neat if this extended beyond just posts and also made image sharing from a post easier.

pony.ch

Make it happen.


Never mind, it's taken.

pchan.us and pchan.me are available

(Now that I've typed it, pchan.us is a terrible choice. Do it fillies.)

Under namecheap, the domain registration service that I use for Lunachan, pony.chan isn't available, but ponych.in is

uh...it looks like getting an .an domain would be relatively expensive...

On that note... is there any reason every Ponychan URL needs to go through /chan/ ?

Wouldn't it be better to have, say, http://www.ponychan.net/meta/ rather than http://www.ponychan.net/chan/meta/ ?

Presumably Orange may have had additional plans for Ponychan. It's the only reason I could think of that would explain why /chan/ isn't document root.

From what I've been told, there was one project that appeared on Ponychan outside the document root called /beta/, though that experiment was long abandoned. I'm sure someone has a screencap of it somewhere because I can't find mine.

Don't reckon that was the initial reason, as it can just as easily be made via adding a subdomain and making the document root /beta/. In fact it would be more clean.

The only reason why the site's in /chan/ is because that's the way KubasaX has it's files set up.
>> No. 160686 ID: 92a550
>>160685
It is irrelevant. There are no files a level above the workfloor of a web project, unless that project is completely dumb, and not even Kusaba X is that dumb. If board.php is in /chan/, then there is absolutely nothing (relevant) in the document root.
